 Re: Hiss and mastering tapes..
That won't work. It'll just sound rolled-off and lousy. Sorry for the mocking...not really!

I'm still using a pre-crippled Groove Mechanic stand-alone app for '98. I happened to try the built-in on my $20 Magix v12 the other day and it didn't do too bad, but I didn't actually test it on tape.

That's funny. It used to be (showing my age) guys would bring their horrible-sounding NADY wireless units for their guitar into the studio because "it was part of their 'sound'". Let's back up a minute and at least try on the guise of helpfulness. What kind of tape are we talking about: format, make, total duration, how long ago recorded, program material, etc. and what sort of equipment are you using to retrieve and record the material?

Ok, It's a TDK IEC Type 1 D90 from 1995. There's just shy of the full 90 mins on there. It's an old practice tape of a band. The noise isn't horrendous but noticable. I'm using my Sony tapedeck (Around 13 years old) to an Audiophile USB soundcard. Record using Cubase VST.....? |

OK. So as not to make too much out of this. Grab a good cassette deck with Dolby C. Engage the NR and record the result. A little EQ for taste and pull out the >10k. Call it a day after that.

Actually, I often dub without dolby - depending how the playback tracks. GB is right that often you shouldn't make so much of the process - unless you want to make a challenge out of it. There was a time I rigged up a Blaupunkt car deck just for it's hiss (noise reduction on radio, too - I think) reduction on the D and AD tapes.
